Swarmed

There were more sounds of combat coming their way, as if someone were fighting a running retreat, so Karl had Thor bugle out a greeting that should bring the humans their way.

If it were the other Spellswords, they should know that he had beasts with him, and if it were other Elites, they might come to what sounded like a Cerro pack for safety. The animals were herbivores, but they would fight back viciously if other monsters attacked them.

A second later, Prince Corbin was next to them, with a blood covered blade in one hand and an unconscious Rose in the other.

Tessa immediately began a Healing Prayer spell, and golden light surrounded the injured girl.

"What happened?" Karl asked.

"The damned tunnels happened. The entrances were covered in ice until we passed, and then the Yeti Clans came flooding out to fight. I killed hundreds of them until I started to run out of mana, and they broke the barrier over Rose." He explained.
